The importance of the trivial
Once read that a good blogger should never post about what they had for lunch or stuff like that, that it's too trivial to waste anyone's time with. Well, guess what - I enjoy knowing what people had for lunch. I myself had a very relaxed lunch of noodles with my parents at home. It was a day of small activities, but I enjoyed it. Spent the day organizing my workspace. A cluttered work area is only acceptable to me when I'm in busy mode; once I switch out, having to stare at a pile of papers is torture. So I broke out my feather duster and went to town. The rest of the day, I put my audio capture software to work and hummed Christmas carols. I love Christmas, though in Thailand, it's kinda hard to get in the spirit, what with the lack of snow and because it's boiling hot. Okay, so what do snow and cold have to do with Christmas, anyhow, right? It just doesn't feel like Christmas to me without the imminent threat of frostbite and the chance to sculpt snowmen. Sigh. We make do. See, it is the little things that make something special.
Final thought: Thank God for small things.

Okay... Let's see... Lunch yesterday... Oh. A veggie sub from Jimmy Johns on the run. I'm sirring in my office right now getting ready to head out and I'm ashamed to say that sitting next to me are noth a still half-packed duffle full of clothes I didn't use on a shortend trip I took last wekend, two weeks worth of junk mail and more cluttr than I can usually abide, and I KNOW I won't get to it till Saturday or Sunday, because, though I'm not overly busy, it seems blocked up fairly solidly for the next few days, and what free time I will have, I'll probably spend writing.
Here ends my excuse.

Yum, veggie sub. :) And the phenomenon of not unpacking? Been there, done that, more power to us! :P It's all good...
